FLORAL arrangements that captured the feel of a country garden or resembled a historical event were on display at two charity flower festivals in Huntingdonshire.
A feast of colours lined St Mary's Church in Houghton on June 9 and 10 - all created to represent the theme 2007: An Eventful Year.
These included displays which resembled famous people and historical events.
The weekend, which raised more than £3,000, concluded with a festival concert.

The theme was Through the Garden Gate and participants were asked to create floral displays that would enable visitors to take a trip through stately gardens.
A total of £1,310 was raised for the church restoration fund.
